La sentencia del TSJ de Cataluña niega los derechos sucesorios abintestato al conviviente homosexual. La solución es pacífica, por aplicarse la indiscutible letra de la LUEP de 1998. Sin embargo, las reformas posteriores introducidas en el sistema han provocado desajustes en la vigencia y aplicación de aquella ley. Su fundamento ha quedado cuestionado, abriéndose dos fases temporales en las que la literalidad de aquella ley arroja discriminaciones. Este trabajo reflexiona sobre el alcance de las discriminaciones, sobre su posible solución y sobre la justificación de las reformas realizadas o en proceso de realización.

The intestate succession of the same sex cohabitant. Comments on the judgement of the Catalan Supreme Court, 9th of March of 2009

The judgment of the TSJ of Catalonia denies intestate inheritance rights to the surviving homosexual partner. There can be no argument about this ruling, as it simply applies the undisputed letter of the LUEP of 1998. Nevertheless, the later reforms introduced in the system have provoked readjustments in the force and application of that statute. Its foundation has been questioned, opening up two temporal phases in which it has been argued that the literal meaning of this statute provokes discriminations. This study reflects on the scope of these discriminations, on the possibility of a solution and on the justification of the reforms that are already made or are in process.
